The nose on this seasonally released Junmai Daiginjo Nama (not a lot of those) is a great collection of pineapple, strawberry, pomelo, rock sugar, blueberry, fresh grasses, and cherry aromas. Snap! A raw premium sake that is undiluted (17%) and unfiltered (no not nigori, but rather not charcoal filtered) that drinks with tingly and fresh elegance. Light, bright, crisp, silky, off-dry, and a little thin, this is a fruity zesty teaser that is refreshing and has a nice astringency with a mineral finish. Look for pineapple, pear, crisp apple, honeydew, strawberry, Whoppers™, marshmallow, snowmelt, and ricey flavors on an edgy flow. Fresh and high-end sake that is great for your sushi bar pairings. WORD: Bright WINE: Zesty Reds/Crisp Whites BEER: Crisp Ales FOODS: Sushi, sashimi, shellfish, shrimp, citrus based fare, fruit and cheese plates. (2023)
The nose on this unpasteurized Junmai Daiginjo is a great collection of cherry, pear, apple, white pepper, herbal, wheat, and tropical fruit aromas. Wow! This is a superb fruit-forward Daiginjo that actually drinks more rich than sweet, with layers of spritzy and sexy flavors that float on a fluid that has weight, but drinks light. Stunning stuff that can almost be called “Beefy Elegance.” Not your typical high-end sake. It is round, smooth, juicy, fleshy, and viscous, with a spritzy pop. Look for honey, pear compote, mango, honeydew melon, banana bread, and lots of tropical fruit flavors with a tingly grape and mineral finish. This is one of those brews that drinks dryer than you would think, and has a killer body. WORD: Delicious WINE: Fat Reds/Fruity Whites BEER: Fruity Ales FOODS: Champagne fare, lobster, crab, caviar, sushi, sashimi, and cheese plates. (2022)
